Valley House Gallery is pleased to present our first exhibition of Israel born Hadar Sobol.
In a union of thread and drawing, Sobol traces her journey of identity as an artist and
new mother in a new country.

"Kairos" refers to the qualitative dimension of time. It describes a moment of undetermined
time during which something special happens. Sobol's work draws its inspiration from the
narrative of a woman's inner voyage. During this voyage, as she confronts the changes in
her life, she finds that in addition to experiencing pain, she is provided with the
opportunity to re-create herself.

"Otis Dozier painted a certain time and place into existence.  Ostensibly, his subject was the
flora and fauna of the American Southwest, but his true subject was the universality of the
rhythms of the natural world.  His mantra was "Look for the universal in the regional."  What a
contrast with the current cliche "global art," which, in essence, means "follow fashion and
money!"

Otis' "universal" was beyond the ego, beyond the subjective.  And, although someday his
works, like all landscape painting, will become images of a vanished world, a time no one
remembers, what a treasure they are for us!  Could any of us see the exquisite design of
Southwestern flora or the geometry of native rock formations echoed in fair weather clouds if
not for his paintings?  His tools were a gift for drawing, an infallible color sense, and an
insatiable curiosity."
